New Thirty One Consultant Kits

If you are thinking about signing up as a Consultant with Thirty-One, anytime after July 10th is the perfect time to do it. Anyone who signs up on or after that date will receive the new Fall/Winter Consultant kit with items from the next catalog. The cost is still only $99! I don't have all the details yet on what is included in the kit but I will post it as soon as I find out (which should be shortly!). If you would like me to email or mail you a copy of the New Consultant Kit information, please email me at amy.lachance@yahoo.com and I will be happy to send it along to you.

Also, I will be offering a $25 gift certificate to the first 5 people who sign up with me between July 10 and August 10. This is my way of saying "welcome to the team" as well as helping you add more to your kit. More details on this will also be posted later but it's something to start thinking about. What a great way to earn some extra holiday spending money!!

About Town Fleece is also retiring...so sad

In May, I wrote about my favorite Thirty-One item, the About Town Fleece blanket. I love it. It's a fleece blanket that is folded up into a bag. So cute. Click here to read more about this blanket/bag.

Well, it's a late arrival to the "last season" list but it too is going to be gone as of the end of July. I have not seen the new catalog yet, but those that did say there is not a replacement for it. So, if you want one you will need to act fast.

I love this bag and I'm going to miss it!

All Bracelets also "Last Season" item

The Name Bracelets, Birthstone Bracelets, Child's Sweet Peas Bracelet and the popular Psalms Bracelet are soon to be retiring at the of July. You can have most of them personalized with 1 or 2 names, a variety of birthstone Swarovski crystals, pearls and sterling silver beads. To see these beautiful bracelets before they are gone, check out page 23 of the Spring/Summer catalog at my website MyThirtyOne.com/AmyL.

"Last Season" Products...Pink Floral

The new Fall/Winter Thirty-One catalog will be released on August 1. That's the good news. The bad news is that we will have to say good bye to many of our favorite items in the current catalog that will be retiring at the end of July. If there is something that you simply must have, order now before it's too late! I will feature a few of my favorites throughout the month.

My first "last season" items I am featuring is anything in the Pink Floral pattern. Yep, that's everything in that pattern... the Bucket Bag, Beach Towel, Beach Tote, Zipper Tote, Luggage Tag, Cinch Sac, Girl's Purse, Medium and Small Sassy Sacs, All in One Organizer and even the Stationary. Many of these items will still be in the next catalog but in different patterns. So if you love this design like I do, your need to order right away at my website www.MyThirtyOne.com/AmyL.

Cinch Sac for you Daughter

Is your daughter on a dance, soccer, cheerleading or tennis team? The very popular Cinch Sac is what they need to look cute and stylish to carry around all their gear. They can order their own or the whole team can get matching bags. Similar bags are sold in cheerleading and dance supply catalogs but ours is much less expensive because the personalizing is free!

Thank you Deb & Deb!

Two Deb's... two great parties! Thank you so much.

Deb F, It was nice to meet the great ladies from Chester. I appreciate you welcoming me in during such a busy time. Only a few more days and schools out. Then everyone can really enjoy their new beach totes or About Town Fleeces (a very popular item with your group).

Deb D, It's always nice to see you. Meeting your friends was lots of fun. A night out with the girls was just what I needed. Even though I was "working", it certainly didn't feel like work. I'm glad you were able to get your pink Jacquard bag at only $12! What a steal!

Summer Essentials

Now that the warm weather is here, you need to be prepared with all the fun summer items from Thirty-One.

• The most important is a cute and stylish Beach Tote or Bucket Bag to carry everything to the beach, pool, fireworks, BBQ or any summer event. Both are available in Pink Floral or Aqua Messy Circles. The Beach Tote is also available in Brown Aqua Dots.
• To complete the look, you need to have a matching Beach Towel. You can order it with or without monogramming.
• The Zipper Pouch can be used for almost anything. Since it's vinyl lined, you can easily wipe it out if something is wet inside. It's so perfect to pack wet bathing suits or sunscreen and bug spray. The Zipper Pouch, for a deal at only $12 is available in 6 different colors and can also be monogrammed for free.
• The Thermal Tote is something that is perfect all year round (and is our best seller). It's thermal lined so you can put drinks and snacks inside when going to the park for the afternoon and they will stay cool. It is so cute that you don't mind carrying it around all day!

Many of these items are retiring at the end of July so don't wait. Plus summer goes by so fast, order your summer essentials now at MyThirtyOne.com/AmyL
